A Woodland Walk Through the Home

Think rustic materials, natural cosy fabrics, forest colour schemes and animal accessories and you have yourself the perfect WOODLAND WALK inspired interior design. This interior look is colourful and welcoming and can be used to bring a sense of the outdoors indoors. This forest inspired interior will take you on a walk through the ambiance of the woodland whilst creating a stylish and inviting ambiance that perfectly combines traditional and contemporary design features.

Opt for a natural colour palette that will bright to life your interior space and create pops of colour to accent walls and alcoves. Classic cream and beige will look wonderful with golden brown and orange tones to give a warm autumnal feel that is chic and homely. For a more colourful look then team cream and russet with meadow and pine green that will create a rich and textural feel to your space. Don’t be afraid to include deep tones of grey, brown or black to add to the rich and varied colour palette of the forest floor. You can team these colour palettes with a woodland wall mural for a striking focal point in your chosen room or opt for patterned wallpaper featuring trees, birds and woodland animals that will create visual detail in your home.

Opt for soft furnishings that mimic the varying textures and colours of a woodland area. Heavy forest green velvet curtains will look wonderful on your living room or bedroom window and create a tactile pop of colour that works great as an alternative to a painted or wallpapered accent wall. You can co-ordinate your rug into the room by selecting the same colour green or opt for a deep chocolate or russet tone to mimic the look of the forest floor. Choose deep pile rugs that are thick and textural for visual and tactile style. Select chunky knitted cushions, tartan fabrics and faux fur throws and display alongside some wildlife inspired cushions featuring rabbits, foxes, wolves, deer and birds that will create an artistic finish to your living room or bedroom interior.

When selecting furniture for your woodland inspired room then opt for simple and natural finishes that will compliment the interior backdrop. Chunky and rustic oak farmhouse furniture will work really well within this trend especially with statement items such as large dining tables, dressers and bed frames that will take centre stage in the room. Weathered furniture will also give a stylish and natural finish to your interior space and creates an untouched, reclaimed look that is perfect for those looking for a eco friendly interior design.  If you prefer a more modern look then opt for straight edged and streamlined oak furniture with a light golden finish that will create a cosy yet sleek look in your home.

Have fun with your accessories and mix and match your items to create a natural look that compliments the ambiance of the room. Pendulum lights and lamp shades adorned with shaded or filigree trees will look fabulous against a woodland inspired backdrop and can be teamed with floor and table vases featuring large plumes of twigs and intertwined fairy lights for an elegant woodland look. Fill glass bowls, vases and storm lanterns with acorns and berries and place along a mantelpiece, sideboard or windowsill for a simple and stylish focal point. Woodland creatures make a fabulous accessory within this trend. Rabbits, squirrels, birds and foxes look great as ornaments and wall art; why not include an oak, mahogany or chrome effect stags head on your main feature wall for a twist on a traditional country house design.
